SpamTrakker

Stop spam—and clear your school’s inboxes of thousands of junk emails.

Managing spam is a huge time waster—and phishing scams can do substantial harm.

Problem is, most anti-spam software is easy to fool, because it uses static techniques to identify spam email messages. A spammer simply tweaks the email message, and poof! It bypasses the spam filter and arrives in your mailbox.

SpamTrakker is smarter.

Its Bayesian-filtering technology is the most effective anti-spam weapon out there, with a 98 percent spam-detection rate. This clever technology uses a mathematical approach to “learn” the difference between good and junk email.

Our spam blocker conveniently integrates with Outlook and most other email clients and lets you have total control of your school’s spam “tolerance” level.

How it works:

  • SpamTrakker tags incoming email messages with the details (called “hits”) of its analysis
  • Each hit is rated and then added up to give the message a total spam score
  • This total score determines if the email gets delivered or deleted

SpamTrakker also identifies spam via:

  • Blacklists –– supports multiple blacklists
  • Text analysis –– examines emails for character styles that spammers typically use
  • Header analysis –– looks for common tricks spammers use to conceal their identities

Manage your spam threshold:

  • You set the delete-spam threshold for your entire school. For example, a spam score of 7 or higher gets deleted (can be managed/changed in settings)
  • If your school uses an email client that has header-based mail-rule capabilities (like Outlook), users can set rules to automatically move messages (that have a lower spam score than your default level) to a specified folder
    • Messages can be filtered by subject, sender’s address, customized headers, etc.
